Description

Hello,

we have a use-case in which we'd like to (independently from this resource) scan the locks repository, pick a lock based on a condition and then provide the lock name to the resource from a file or is some other run-time way.

Is this supported by this resource?

Cheers,
Dario

Research direction

Start by reading how this resource discovers and selects locks, then compare that flow with the proposed external scan of the locks repository. Determine whether a lock name can be supplied through a file or another runtime input, and define the supported behavior before making a change.
